Apple endophyte community in relation to location, scion and rootstock genotypes and susceptibility to European canker. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2021 ABSTRACTEuropean apple canker, caused by Neonectria ditissima, is a severe disease of apple. Achieving effective control is difficult with the currently available pesticides. Specific apple endophytes associated with cultivars may partially contribute to the cultivar response to the pathogen and thus could be used for disease management.

Identification of Regional Climatic Conditions Favorable for Development of European Canker of Apple [PDF]
Phytopathology, 2011 Months of the year with high risk of European canker (Neonectria galligena) development in areas of the United States, Chile, England, and Northern Ireland were determined from published data. Moving-window analysis of long-term climatic data was used to classify disease risk in these areas in relation to rainfall and temperature conditions using the ...

Systematic stepwise screening of new microbial antagonists for biological control of European canker
Biological Control, 2022 Neonectria ditissima is the causal agent of European canker. This pathogen causes cankers on apple branches and the main stem, which may lead to the loss of the whole tree. Chemical control is the essential component in disease management and no suitable biocontrol products are commercially available.
